I was in a strange city and I didn’t know the city at all. And what is more，I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town centre，I decided to lose my way on my second day，since I was sure that this was the better way of getting to know the strange city. I got on the first bus in the morning，rode
on it for several stops，then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed happily enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time，I decided I’d better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that I pronounced badly.
I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money before I went on my way. Then I met a policeman. I asked him at once. The policeman listened to me carefully，smiled and took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking on.
About an hour passed and I found that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields could be seen on either side of me，I had come all the way into the country. The thing left for me to do was to find the nearest bus station.
56. The writer thought that if you wanted to get to know a strange city _______ .
A. you should go everywhere on foot B. you should have a map C. you should ask people the way D. you should get lost
